Standard Industrial Control Transformers
- Efficient
- Compact
- Voltage Control
- Safety & Isolation
When choosing an industrial control transformer for a control panel, several crucial factors should be considered. The following are some of the most vital considerations:
Voltage and current ratings: When choosing a transformer, ensure it has the proper voltage and current ratings for the intended use. Verify that the transformer can manage the voltage and current needed to power the load.
Frequency: The transformer's frequency should coincide with the electrical supply's frequency.
Insulation class: The transformer needs to have an insulation class appropriate for the control panel's voltage levels and operating conditions.
Efficiency: A more energy-efficient transformer will generate less heat, lowering the possibility of thermal damage and improving reliability.
Size and weight: The transformer's size and weight should suit the control panel's available space and the design's specifications. i.e = autotransformers are small in size but do not provide isolation.
Noise production: Certain transformers may produce electrical noise, which may impair the performance of other electrical parts in the control panel.
Environment: The transformer should be able to function within the control panel's environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, shock, and vibration.
Safety: Verify that the transformer complies with all applicable safety regulations and standards for the intended use.
